Some very good news today. BPD Chief Cook listened to the privacy concerns of the majority of City Council, and the community comments at large and committed to not pursuing a Data Collection software program with BPD grant money. He deserves a thank you from the community because technically he didn't have to follow council's recommendation. A+ for privacy and thanks to those who stayed late to speak!Thanks due as well to those Council members who concern themselves with privacy, potential abuse and corporate data collection.(Submitted by Janet M.)
